Biden tries to make it seem like it is just a matter of personal belief and faith. It isn't. It falls within reason and common sense. There are objective facts which corroborate the teaching of the Church. Pelosi tried to quote Augustine to cite an ancient theory of delayed ensoulment - the idea the soul is infused into the body some time after conception. But even with that theory MOST abortions, later abortions certainly, are occuring when that "ensoulment" would already have occurred so her argument was really an argument AGAINST abortion not for it, as she thought. Surely, life has already begun when children are born alive in "live birth" botched abortions, like those Obama voted for. But they can't bring themselves even to acknowledge this which is not a matter of faith or belief at all but of objective biological evidence which can be observed and seen by EVERYONE.

Obama complained that pro-life advocates wanted children born alive in botched "live birth" abortions treated the same as if they were a "nine-month-old" child. Well, they are. That's common sense not some obscure theological mystery which people can have different opinions about.

It certainly is not mysterious question of faith or belief that a child born alive in a "live birth" botched abortion is a living and breathing human being, a person, with rights. It's a fact. Biden has a duty as a Catholic to explain this to Obama and to do EVERYTHING within his power to persuade others to understand and oppose this evil. It is not just a personal, subjective opinion, enshrouded in mysteries of faith and belief, that Biden is prevented from "imposing" by some imaginary constitutional principle about the separation of belief and public policy. That abortion takes a human life unlawfully and immorally is within the scope of reason and common sense observation of facts. It is a rational judgement concerning application of natural law and human rights.

Agree with you 100%.

IMO—the only thing left is to excommunicate. Biden Pelosi and the whole pile of them won't change with polite talk.

They need to be condemned, frequently and loudly. Palin wants to shake up DC. The Shepherds are 40+ years delinquent in their shake up. Now is a great time. Perhaps Archbishop Burke can be more persuasive in his new office.
